Krazy motherf***** Ken is back to his old tricks and decided that our club captain should step aside for Bryn Morris, who hasn't played for (I think) over a year..
Happy to see Bryn get a chance but that is a massive call.
The nerves are building.. the playoffs are always complete one offs, but the four month break really ups the uncertainty of it all. Absolutely no idea what to expect, I'm just praying we turn up better than we did last year
It appears my negative psychology worked :ohm:
Sounds like it was a pretty even game until we managed to be that bit more clinical. Hope you manage to get out of that goal drought!
Club record streak of wins is awesome, but I’m really trying to keep my excitement cautious - with Ipswich...
Positivity Don, positivity - hopefully we'll pass by them on our way up! 2 defeats in 21 is nothing to be sniffed at..
Cracking performance today, intense and at Barnsley's throats from the off. Didn't think this would be one of the only times we put a team away, they look in deep trouble.
Classic Pompey today - largely brilliant in the first half, but should have scored at least one more. Second half, complacent, not at the races, slow and needed a much improved Wimbledon scoring to wake them up and get back in front.
Getting envy seeing the likes of Rotherham/Sunderland/Ipswich...
Reeco in, and now seemingly Pitman may be on the way out. I'd be sad to see him go, but also think it'd be sensible if it means we can free up our wage budget to bring the above/an attacking mid in.
Snap!!
I'm glad someone that isn't a Pompey fan said it! We've genuinely ruined him, he's lost all confidence since being here. Firstly played as a lone striker with no genuine 10, and then Kenny thought "well if I have no genuine 10, why don't I make John the 10?? Genius!"
You can imagine how that's...
Experimental 361 - League 1 Scatter Graphics 27th Dec
361 in with the hugely interesting stats again. Very interesting that we’re on top of the expected goals table.. points to us underperforming. These tables often seem to prove fairly true by the end of the season too, bar a few outliers of...
Fair cop! I am probably biased having seen you a lot in the League 2 days, it just seemed like every subtle trick in the book was being played to slow the game and stop us from gaining any rhythm. Allsop/Jacobson taking just a little bit longer with their goal/free-kicks, throw ins being slowed...
The last few games I’ve seen at Fratton have really made me think the standard in the league is a lot lot lower this season - there’s no one anywhere near the quality of Luton, Barnsley and Charlton last year.. the closest I’ve seen are Peterborough. The promotion spots are really anyone’s to...
Convincing win yesterday against a good Ipswich side, in general it was a pretty good quality game. We're still well in it, Ronan Curtis has reacquired his "I am the League 1 Ronaldo" attitude and it's very welcome. Cockiest bastard I've seen in a Pompey shirt in a long while.
